General Artheuer Welling of the KoH. A seasoned commander. They are here to join you.

These units will stay in Seamist as a garrison :
MEDOERE
Regulars  Seamist E   Elite
Archers   Seamist W   Veteran 
White Lions
Lion Regular 3rd   Seamist W   Veteran   The Army of the White Lion
Lion Regular 5th   Seamist W   Veteran   The Army of the White Lion
their order : man castle defenses, report incoming threat to main army

Rest of the units in Seamist will split into two groups :
Mounted units from the Ghieste/Endier contingent under command of General Artheuer Welling will immediately move into Devien.
Remaining units under command of General Tael Brosuine will follow, as the probability of enemy encounter is high, swordsmen and pikes will go first, archers and crossbows behind them.

In Devien, Baron will try to get into contact with the enemy militia :
Dragoons and outriders will quickly engange enemy units (preferred target is militia) at missile range, deal damage and disengange (they have the advantage of higher speed). In case some units will try to chase, knights under personal command of Baron will take care of such fool.

This tactic will change after arrival of the Ghieste/Endier contingent.

WM 9:

The enemy infantry heads south, along rugged terrain, not wanting to give your cavalry any advantages (they are heading for Bhaine). You own infantry won't catch up with them, but the cavalry can - barely. Do you engage - to defeat or merely to harass?

The enemy castle in Devien is active and stocked with infantry units.

You realize that the enemy has spies watching and reporting on your movements (no surprise there really).

Baron, observing the new situation from a small hill, uttered to his oficers waiting around. Not surprising. Only fools will accept fight with superior force. Then yelled. Change of plans, knights, prepare to strike. Horse, where's my horse?

Knights and mounted armsmen under personal command of baron will strike at the 'retreating' enemy, dragoons and outriders at both flanks - using missile.

OOC : I do expect the Ghoere/Endier contingent is still moving into Devien, thus unusable, right?

Indeed, that was the enemy's plan - to observe your movements with spies and then slip away (during the night). You can of course order some/all of those units to abort their move and go to Bhaine instead, but they will be delayed.

The enemy commander, this Count Onslew, is quite unwilling to face you in battle. He knows the terrain very well, and continue to slip south and west. You lighter cavalry does manage to keep up with his forces and harass them, but they have to be careful, because several times there are ambushes staged. He is clearly trying to lure your to go after him - but why does he do that? Soon you'll have him cornered in Seasdeep.

Baron will not pursue, sending scouts (3 units of DIEM dragoons) to Portage, to check for enemy presence and return with report.
He also sends fast herold to Aerthur Welling to halt in Seamist and scout carefully in Bhaine (using light cavalry).

You' chase the enemy to Bhaine and halt, then send your light cavalry to Portage.

They run into another well-garrisoned castle, as well as a smallish infantry army camped nearby. No cavalry at all.

Your sub-commanders suggest that you take Bhaine, effectively trapping this Count Onslew and his men there.

OOC :

Small recap :

Seamist :
Garrison units along with the Ghieste/Endier contingent under command of Aerthur Welling.

Devien :
Ghieste infantry/engineers/crossbows + Roesone Inf+Archers under command of Tael Brosuine
Enemy castle with unspecified garrison

Bhaine :
Diem/Roesone calvalry + Baron
Enemy castle, 10+ enemy units

Portage :
Enemy castle + some units

is that correct?

Corrections;
You have that castle (2) in Seamist under your control.
Bhaine has no castle.

Ghieste/Endeir cavalry contingent (Aerthur Welling) will move to Devien to guard 'back' doors to Seamist and Bhaine. They will not try to deal with the castle, but will try to block enemy moves to Seamist and Bhaine. They'll provide intel for baron too.

Tael Brosien with the infantry units (Roesone/Ghieste/Endier) will reinforce Baron's units in Devien.

Meanwhile, Baron asks for detailed info about the enemy strength and position (Roesone outriders and dragoons will do that job, carefully planning movement to keep their speed advantage).

OOC : may ask for the description of the Ghieste/Endier contingent?

WM 10 is spent redeploying and scouting some more.

You gain little additional intelligence:

- Onslew is now with his force in Seasdeep. You now effectively control Bhaine.
- There is no real enemy presence in Bayside.
- Portage contains a castle and an enemy infantry army of 'intermediate' side (meaning 15+ units).
- You've no intelligence on the northern forest provinces.
- Foraging is poor; the enemy has taken most of it and destroyed what he could not take.
- The locals have little love for the men of Boeruine.

WM 11 begins.
